[gentoo-dev] New developer: Joe Sapp (nixphoeni)

Evening again,

Another new developer has joined the ranks, to help out with gDesklets
and the related packages. He's called Joe Sapp, and he comes from
upstate New York, although he's currently in the middle of his 3rd year
at Pennsylvania State University studying Electrical Engineering.  He
writes that he "thoroughly enjoys working with microcontrollers and
other electrical and electromechanical hardware." He's currently
building a robotic assistant for the PSU Mars Society (a chapter of the
Internation Mars Society) and he's also involved with the university's
LUG. He also mixes music from time to time, and he writes, "occasionally
for more people than just myself". Joe's had a steady girlfriend for two
and a half years, and most of his family are on the east coast within
a six hour drive.

He says he also knows C, C++, MIPS and Freescale HC12 assembly, Perl, and
Python fairly well. Joe says that he will have quite a bit of experience
with "gEda, PiKdev, and hardware similution tools after this summer".

Contributions to the gDesklets project are regularly made by Joe in the
form of both desklets and documentation.

Anyway, please welcome Joe to the rabble^Wteam.

Another badly worded email is yours,
Tom

Feel free to help out with the dev-embedded herd too.

Welcome aboard Joe - your very wanted.

Joe, I hadn't paid attention to this since I naturally didn't know I was
going to see it, yet, but there's a current gdesklets discussion over on
the desktop group (or list if you don't read it thru gmane as I do), you
might be interested in, if you've not replied there already.  That group
is far lower traffic than either the user or this group, and gdesklets are
certainly desktop topical, so you might just consider subscribing, if you
haven't already done so.  I don't run them as I'm a KDE user, but just saw
the thread, a couple minutes ago when I was in the group, so thought I'd
mention it..

Thanks for the heads up, but that was one of the first ones I subscribed to :)
Mike Gardiner and I have been working on fixing up a lot of the problems 
with gDesklets on Gentoo during my training period, so hopefully the 
current issues will go away.  As a result, you'll either see a lot more, 
newer complaints or a lot fewer, stranger ones.  Either way, fun times will 
be had by all!

For the record, you _could_ run them, but I won't open up that can of worms 
(any more than I just did) ;)

Thanks.  I did come across that in my wanderings, but the ksysguard kicker
applet seems just about perfect, here.  I don't like running stuff on the
desktop itself, as it's covered enough to defeat the purpose.
